context in nested serializers django rest framework

Question

If i have a nested serializer:

class ChildSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = (\'c_name\', )
        model = Child


class ParentSe         


        

Answer 1

You can use serialziers.ListField instead. ListField automatically passes context to it's child. So, here's your code

class ChildSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        fields = ('c_name', )
        model = Child


class ParentSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    child = serializers.ListField(read_only=True, child=ChildSerializer())

    class Meta:
        model = Parent
        fields = ('p_name', 'child')
